jake the bait

This is a commission piece and has a great story to go with it. I met a girl last year at an art show in Nashville and she bought a painting from me. She kept my business card and e mailed me last week with a special request to paint Jake. Jake is her finace's dog that he got soon before their courtship began. She accused him of getting Jake to help attract girls. I guess it worked. Jake also played a part in the proposal by having the ring tied around a ribbon on his neck. Good stuff! My new friend is going to surprise him with this for a groom's gift.
This is painted on a 12 x 12" gallery wrap and she is going to hang it at the site in her home where he proposed.sold

About Me

Hi, I am Carol Morgan Carmichael and I live in Vestavia Hills, Alabama with my husband Dan.I have always loved drawing and have translated that into a love of oil painting after working with some great teachers.
I graduated from Birmingham Southern College with a degree in art education. I taught art at Homewood High School for four years and then retired to raise twin sons. Another son came along two years later.
My subject matter is all over the board. I enjoy painting still life, animals, figuratives, and beach scenes. I use oil paint because of its buttery consistency and forgiving nature. You can't beat the luminosity of the finished product.
I am definitely a work in progress. If you are interested in my work, contact me by e mail at carolcarmike@att.net.
